Rather than being a precise measurement instrument like mass spectrometers, this biosensor should be able to qualitatively detect and distinguish between the most relevant families of the bacteria causing mycobacterium tuberculosis in human fluids. Other approaches pursue outstanding sensitivity relying on expensive materials and microfabrication processes. Despite other requisites, low-cost imposes certain criteria regarding materials, systems, fabrication techniques and user interfaces to be included in the device.application/pdfengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaBiosensorsMycobacterium tuberculosisPLADEBACT project (Platform for Detection of Bacteria in Human Fluids)Design and simulation of a low-cost biosensor for point-of-care diagnose devicesbachelor thesisBiología y Biomedicinaopen access
